5 JOYS:
* Mike. He is the most wonderful husband in the world! I love you babe!
* Alena's cute little smile. She is growing up so fast, it makes me sad.
* Playin' with my sisters! They are all such amazing women and they are such great examples to me of what a wife and mother should be. We have such a great time when we get together,we laugh till we cry and then laugh some more :)
* Reading a really good book. I can get so in to it that I read for hours.
* Music. Singing, playing the piano, listening on the radio. I love it all!
5 FEARS:
* Losing a child. I don't know what my life would be like after that.
* I think everyone has financial fears, and I am no exception.
* Losing one of my senses, like going blind or deaf. That would be so hard for me.
* Fires (my house burnt down when I was little)
* Clowns. I don't care what anyone says, those are creapy little buggers!!
5 SURPRISING FACTS:
* I am an awful impulse shopper. I once dropped $300 on a camera, just because.
* I have read the original Boxcar Children book nearly 100 times. It is the first chapter book I ever read and I love reading it still. (Did you know the original was published in 1942 and they are still publishing more today? The 115th was published just this year)
* I love dumb trivia as exhibited above :)
* I had never flown in an airplane until I was a junior in high school. (The time when I was 3 months old doesn't count, I don't remember it)
* I'm a serious perfectionist, almost to the point of obsessive compulsive. If I get something in my head that has to be done a certain way, there is nothing you can do to change my mind.
5 OBSESSIONS:
* Cookies right out of the oven
* Texas Roadhouse, they have the most wonderful rolls ever!!
* Christmas Music (I can listen to it all year round)
* Ice Cream
* Sobe's: I drink like 3 of them a day :)

BEWARE T-Moblie Users!!!
T-Mobile users... I don't know who of you use T-Mobile, or if any of you do, but I just thought I would make you aware of a problem Mike and I are having with our account. Mike's sister was in town visiting last week to see Alena and while she was here she was talking a lot on the phone with Brett who was still up in Utah. While here, she reached the end of her allowed minutes so they made it a point to only talk on the phone after 9:00PM because night time minutes are unlimited.
On Thursday night Brett called Haley at 9:24PM and they talked for quite a long time. They were actually on the phone until like 2 in the morning. Friday morning Haley checked her account and for some reason they had charged her for the entire phone call. With her being over on her minutes just the one call was going to cost over $100. Well, she called T-Mobile to see what the issue was and they said that their records were showing that the call came in at 8:24PM so she is charged for the entire call. Well, we all knew that the call had come in after 9 so I decided to look at my account online and see when it was saying my calls were coming in. Low and behold, every call was recorded as occurring an hour earlier than it actually had.
As you can see, this could cause serious issue on peoples bills. Mike and I share minutes so we have to be sure that the calls that are supposed to be free really are free. We filed a complaint to have them check their towers and find out why the calls are being logged at the wrong time, but they are totally dragging their feet about it. It has been 2 days longer than they said it would be and the service request still hasn't been completed.
I would just advise all of you to check your statements and make sure that your calls are logged at the right time. If not, please call T-Mobile so that we can get some steam under their rears and get this fixed. I just hate the idea of people being charge for calls they shouldn't be charged for especially with the economy how it is, and money being tight for everyone. Any extra bill is unwanted.
Please let me know if any of you find problems. Love you all!

YAY Haley and Brett!!!
So Mike's sister Haley just got engaged tonight to Brett Birkeland. They dated before his mission, wrote all throughout and he just came home in July, and now they are engaged!!! We are so excited for them. Personally, I don't think there is any better institution than marriage :) Mike has met Brett, but I haven't yet. I am very excited that he will be coming down in November Thanksgiving weekend. Haley spent all of last week in Arizona with us so that she could meet Alena and it was so fun to see how in love she is with Brett. He really is a lucky guy. They will be getting married in Salt Lake City, Utah on December 19, and Mike and I just booked our flights tonight. It will be rather interesting to travel with a 3 and a half month old, but we wouldn't miss it for the world. We are so excited to be getting a new brother-in-law. We love you guys!!!

Free Handbag Anyone???
So I saw this link on a friends blog, and I thought "Why the heck not!?!" This company is launching their website next week and to celebrate it they are giving away 24 hand bags in 24 hours. They are all really cute and you can sign up to win one if you visit this site www.handbagplanet.com It is really easy, it takes you through all of the steps to get as many entries as possible. It's fun and worth a shot :) Good luck to all who attempt (Good luck to me as well :) tee he he!!!)

Twilight Saga
So yesterday I finished the final book in the Twilight Saga "Breaking Dawn". If I do say so, I really liked it. It definitely wasn't what I expected, but I liked it. My original plan was to get the book read before Alena was born, but she decided to show up 6 weeks early so I had to put my reading on hold. I was just glad I was able to finish it. I am now in need of some new reading material. The thing I loved about these books is that is pretty much mindless reading. It has a good story that is easy to follow, but you can put it down if you absolutely need to. Somebody help me out. I don't know what to do now that there are no more Harry Potter books coming out and no more Twilight. If you have any good ones let me know!

Update!!
Well, it has been a while since I posted so I figured I would give an update. Alena is doing so great. It is crazy to think that she will be six weeks old on Tuesday. She is growing so fast I can't believe it. At her pediatrician appointment this last week she weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces and was 19 inches long. It almost makes me sad to not have my tiny baby girl any more. She is starting to sleep longer and longer at night. There are times that she will actually go 5 hours between feedings at night so I am only having to get up once to feed her. That is helping me a ton. I love being a mom more and more everyday. I am so blessed to have such a sweet baby girl!
As for Mike, he had a pretty rough week this week. It started with him having a swollen gland in his neck and having a little bit of a soar throat, and ended with him being totally out of commission with tonsillitis. It has been hard to not have the extra set of hands to take care of Alena, and I have felt awful because there is nothing I can really do to help him feel better. He has been on antibiotics for the last two days so hopefully he will be feeling better soon. He has absolutely hated not being able to hold his baby girl and I'm sure she has been missing her Daddy time. Mike will be going up to Idaho Thursday of this week to see his dad and I am going to miss him so much.
As for me, like I said before I am just loving being a mom. It really is the greatest thing ever. Alena is such a blessing and she has such a sweet spirit about her. I could just hold her all the time and be totally content. I just wish I didn't have anything else to do around the house, but alas, life goes on. I will be starting back to work in just over a week, but I am so lucky to be able to do that from home. Yet another blessing in our lives are mine and Mike's jobs. We are lucky enough to work for the same company, and we have a boss that is much to good to us. We feel so fortunate for the life that it affords us. It is so great to have so much to be thankful for. Life is such a blessing and I hope everyone of our loved ones are just as happy in their present circumstances. We love you all!!!
